Meeting at 8 a.m. in Room 157 of the Bernhard Center, the board also will hear a progress report on planning for a new chemistry building. The board approved a move to fast track the project in June and asked to have a detailed plan ready for its review at the September meeting. Also on the agenda are a personnel report, and gift and grant reports that include the year-end totals for the 2003-04 fiscal year as well as totals for the starting months of the 2004-05 fiscal year. Trustees also will consider the University's annual capital outlay request, a five-year plan the state requires universities to submit that prioritizes the institution's hopes for future building projects.
